Larry Mayfield asked about Sunbeam land speed records. There were many at
varying distances, but I think the generally accepted standard World Land
Speed Record is for the flying mile. In that context:

The 350HP Sunbeam set the record of 150.76 MPH at Pendine, South Wales on July
21, 1925.

The 1000HP Sunbeam (twin V-12s) set the record at Daytona on March 29, 1927 of
203.79 MPH.
